If you love broccoli and cheese, my friends, this one is about to be DAN-O-MYTE. We’re taking simple steamed broccoli, smashing it down, loading it up with mozzarella, and giving each piece a Dan-O’s flavor twist. It’s easy, fun, and a great way to Sprinkle Generously and try a few different seasonings all in one pan. This makes a Dantastic side dish or snack. Serve it hot with that homemade ranch, and Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!
